"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."
What struck me was how great Mahomes is. I remember when he was in the draft I watched some of his college tape. I had read that his father was in the major leagues. Patrick was used to being around professionals. He was really confident in his skills.
His tape blew me away. He was doing what we see now. Making plays that nobody makes. In the draft the feeling was he was a project. He would need to be developed. He was prone to turnovers. Like most players who are physically dominate much is expected. They don't give up on plays. They force throws. They don't see punts as ok.
I loved his tape.
Now all these years later. He is still a WOW machine. He made a throw yesterday and I was like "damn dude." How did you do that?
